    As you can see, I am on the right of a buddy and his brand new 450 CRF. Aged 46 amongst youngblood, I tried my best , and will definitely do serious winter training. Anyway, I am the one to blame for picking the wrong lines, the 450 is a beast, watch the start :)

    TC450 in the Italian Husky lingo, and for sure a fun one.

    Oh yes, a lot of fun, but I need to learn how to keep her tight in the corners. Too much angle = I lose the front , not enough angle = I am way out of the line and lose positions. There is an indoor track nearby, I need to learn how to ride the 450 properly.

    Just saying, for those of you who watched the video ( at least until the lens was filled with dirt), a rider fell at turn 1 . He restarted dead last, and you'll see him pass my buddy right after the first lap , to finally end in the top 5 . This is only a 10mn race, and the guy is more than 50 years old . Just wow
